Problems with varnish 1.1 and obj.status

Hi,

I've just uppgraded to varnish 1.1

The upgrade worked just fine and varnish started with my old vcl-file without problems.

However when I added the following to sub vcl_fetch {}

if (obj.status == 404) {
pass;
} else {
set obj.ttl = 900s;
insert;
}

Varnish fails at restart with the following response:

Starting varnishd.
Problem loading compiled VCL program:
./bin.U5BscB9E: Undefined symbol "VRT_r_obj_status"

If I remove the "if (obj.status == 404)" statement everything works just fine.

Looks like an oversight; resp.status is both readable and writable, but
obj.status is write-only.

The patch works, I'm now able to control the caching of 404's.

Thank you very much for the help.
